This photograph was taken in Andalusia, where the solitary tree is the only visual stop on this stretch of land. The sky and the earth are side by side, but do not interpenetrate each other. The solitary tree unites the two elements through its hidden roots and its crown towards the sky.

In the early 2000s, Hans Silvester dedicated a work to trees. It must be said that as a child of the Black Forest, trees have marked his youth. They accompanied his walks, his friendships, his camps, his solitude too.  A saddened witness to the madness of mankind, Hans Silvester shows his commitment to the defense of nature. Beyond the forests, it is the individual trees that capture him: they are living sculptures that give rhythm to the beauty of the place.

Retour De Voyage has selected this photograph which perfectly highlights this isolated tree.
